A. \((4\hat i - \hat j - 2\hat k) + \lambda(-2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k)\)

B. \((4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k) + \lambda(2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k)\)

C. \((4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k) + \lambda(-2\hat i - \hat j - \hat k)\)

D. \((4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k) + \lambda(-2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k)\)

Best answer

Answer: D. \((4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k) + \lambda(-2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k)\)

Answer: (d) \(\bar r = (4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k) + \lambda(-2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k)\)

The line through the point \(A(\bar a)\) parallel to \(\bar b\) is \(\bar r = \bar a + \lambda\bar b\). Here \(\bar a = 4\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k\) and \(\bar b = -2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k\).
